75 Discovery

"Sir, what about the food supply?" A captain asked in confusion, I looked at him and nodded, "First, all fruits will be gathered and placed inside baskets sealed from all sides only allowing air to enter, second the animals that have been killed and captured are to be skinned by a group, and the meat will be preserved."

Taking a deep breath, I continued "Processing the meat but difficult but we can cook it first before hanging it, we have no salt now and no berries to create alcohol which can also make meat stay for a longer period."

Looking around, the captains seemed to be confused, "Just do what I say, and we will have a constant amount of food supplies later on" I said while shaking my head, "Next is the fur we get from the animals, currently everyone is wearing normal linen cloths, and this is not good. I want all of the furs to be made into tents first, with the leaves gathered from the trees it can be made into beds and the fur can be made into tents before we begin with the armor!"

After finishing the explanation, one of the beastmen captains asked "Sir! What do we do about the monsters who can't build or skin?"

I smiled, "They are going to be sentries while we work. I believe that they have what it takes to do it."

Everyone nodded, "Ok, since we have no more ideas, the logs are to be inserted into the grounds, for now, it would not cover everything, but we will be able to finish it with ease later on, you are dismissed!"

The captains saluted and rushed back to their groups, looking at them. I began to think about many things, and plans are necessary for anything that may or may not come.

Time passed, the night arrived, and torches made out of the plans were covering every spot of the hill, soldiers worked hard and were extremely tired, but they will be rewarded later on.

Watching everyone work, I remembered my adopted children, my wife, my brothers, and sisters. "I miss you guys, sigh…" I said in whispers as I stretched my body before picking up the stones surrounding the hill and gathering them in one location.

Slowly, everyone completed their tasks, and everyone began to group up and wait for my commands. I looked at them and nodded, "You deserve to rest! Take a nap and wake up after 3 hours!" I shouted and dismissed them all.

The soldiers shouted in joy, some beastmen laid on the grass and slept peacefully while the humans and goblins carried some leaves and arranged it before laying on it and taking a nap. The captains didn't follow their groups and gathered around me with exhaustion.

"Sir, what to do now" One of the human captains who had bags under his said with resolve. "Go rest, we have more work to do today," I said as I dismissed them.

Standing there I watched them as all of them went to sleep. I smiled and whispered to myself 'I got more work to do' without feeling exhausted. Walking towards the stones, I smiled and worked on several projects I had in mind.

Items of all sorts were slowly piling up next to me, everything necessary for survival and warfare. Weapons for warfare, tools for gathering, tools for crafting, workbench, blacksmithing tools and finally my favorite, water pump.

As I was working on the pipes, I noticed the werewolf standing next to me, and he seemed to have slept for two hours, "Sir…" He said with a low voice as he looked inspired by my actions. "Want to help?" I asked with a smile as I handed him some sewing tools, including the sewing machine.

"Sir, how do I use this?" He said as he looked at the table for sewing, "First place the threads created from the sheep wool on the round thing" I said to him as I began to point to several things, "Lastly, you will sit down on this chair and place your foot on the peddle without applying pressure, use the scissors and cut off any extra thread and put pressure on the peddle to run this wheel as it will sew the fur, remember to move your hands and legs at the same pace to keep it balanced"

The werewolf nodded and began to work on the fur. Eventually, he got the hang of it on his fourth try and started to create fabrics. I gave him a few planks and told him to roll the fabrics around the planks. Understand his job, he continued working on that, and I gave him a thumbs up before going back to my work.

'Good housewife material…' I thought before dismissing the idea and continuing the pipe creation process. Time went by, and the soldiers began to wake up from their slumber and gathered into a straight line forming a spectacular scene under the rising sun.

Looking at them, I nodded and placed my hands behind my back before speaking, "All of you did a great job yesterday, but I am still not satisfied!"

Everyone who was half asleep, half awake became fully focused. "I don't want weaklings under me, and I want the powerful, are you powerful?!"

The aura around the soldiers is changing, and with the right moment where the sun was creating shadows out of them they all screamed "Yes sir!"

I looked at them not impressed, "Let me repeat my words… Are you powerful?!"

They all screamed again with a powerful force "Yes sir!"

I smiled, "Everyone is to eat till he is full before going back to work, group 1 to 9 will go down the mountains to gather logs, the scouts will check our surroundings before coming back, group 10 to 15 will gather animals, group 16 to 24 will begin digging the areas marked on the hill to place the logs within and the remaining will follow me to craft tools!"

After finishing the instructions, I began to place the stuff I created into different parts and leading group 25 to 28 I showed them what to do as well as how to use the tools, they nodded and slowly they began to organize themselves before starting their task.

Looking at the supply slowly coming in I nodded and began to search around the hill for anything useful. After moving around for a bit, I noticed an area within the hill that looked like a cave hidden by the trees, smiling I entered it and saw a large number of minerals on the walls of the cave.

Moving towards the minerals, I transformed my entire hand and gathered a small amount from the wall as I looked at it carefully.

'Iron-ore… high grade... ' I took the ore and went back on the hill, "Group 27 and 28 will stop what they are doing and follow me now! Pick up your pickaxe and come!" I shouted before pulling to me and walking back to the mine.

After showing them what to do I instructed them to the mining process and transportation, I went back to the hill and picked a slate before placing heavy rocks on it and began to create a path to the mine.

After completing everything, I went back on the hill and began to process the Iron-ore before creating a small dagger with it.

'I got much to learn huh… sigh, how long will it take to fortify this entire hill' I shook my head and watched everyone without resting.
